You can ask a urogynecologist anything. Why am I going to the bathroom so often? Is it normal to have leaking? Why do I feel pain in my vagina? What is prolapse? We listen to your concerns and answer your questions — big and small. Then, we deliver care that’s right for you. Board-certified and fellowship-trained urogynecologists diagnose, treat, and help manage pelvic floor conditions and concerns for women 13 years and older.
